Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Homemade Chicken Shawarma with Creamy Garlic Sauce:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs into the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow marinating for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) while the chicken marinates.
4. Bake the Chicken: Arrange the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized on the edges.
5. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: While the chicken is baking, mix together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist chicken.
7. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken into strips. Serve in warm pita bread or flatbreads topped with creamy garlic sauce, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and parsley.
